UPS today announced an industry-first application for BlackBerry® devices that not only ships and tracks packages but also finds the nearest UPS location.

Available tomorrow for free downloading at www.blackberry.com/appworld, the new UPS MobileTM App for BlackBerry enables users to track shipments, create shipments using the My UPS address book, calculate shipping rates and time-in-transit and then find the nearest UPS location.

"The UPS Mobile App for BlackBerry is a first-to-market solution for on-the-go professionals that's arriving just in time for the busy holiday shipping season," said Jordan Colletta, vice president of customer technology marketing at UPS. 

Developed exclusively for use on BlackBerry smartphones, the new UPS Mobile App doesn't require log-in for tracking. But when logged in, the application shows a history of tracked shipments and automatically refreshes when the application is opened. UPS tracking numbers also can be nicknamed for quick reference.

BlackBerry users can use their smartphones to access their My UPS Address Book and Preferences and create shipping labels, which can be e-mailed in a PDF file for printout. Once the label is printed, customers can use the application's "find locations" feature to easily find a UPS drop-off location.

The UPS Mobile App supports the BlackBerry StormTM, BlackBerry BoldTM, BlackBerry TourTM and the BlackBerry CurveTM 8900. For more information on the new application, users can visit www.ups.com/blackberry.
